Nice.

"Your muscles are getting squishier."

- Swayze

That's just great. I've been working my tail off on my bike and at the gym. Not exactly what I wanted to hear this morning (insert major frowny face).

"Look Ma, No Training Wheels!"

Just like everything else in the Stapes' household, a little bribery goes a long way. Swiggles learned how to ride her bike without training wheels last weekend.

Our Quiet, Labor Day Weekend

We decided to take the kids swimming at Grandma Stapes' on Saturday. We even got a wild and crazy hair to bring Nash and his best buddy, B Roy (we're quite the basketball fans in our neck of the woods) from next door. His parents were out of town and we were doing a little doggy- sitting.

I am such a lousy photographer, it took like 6 tries to get this one picture.

Grandma's crazy "Gnash." We officially have 3 Nash's in the Stapley family.

Someone should call PETA on us. The kids thought it would be funny to send the dogs down the tube. The poor thing was so water logged.

Getting roped into going down the slide, again and again.

Swiggles is ever so slowly learning how to swim.

"Graham Cracker"

You might be wondering what that monstrous bandage is doing on her leg. Yep, I dropped my curling iron on it. Poor baby.

Back To the Grind.

The kids started school a few weeks ago. So far, so good. I am thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet, at least for 6 hours.
